[5629] 35 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed that Abû Mûsâ went to 'Umar's door and asked for permission to enter. 'Umar said: "One." He asked permission a second time and 'Umar said: "Two." He asked permission a third time, and 'Umar said: "Three." Then he went away. 'Umar sent someone after him to bring him back. He ('Umar) said: "If this is something that you learned from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, all well and good, otherwise I will make an example of you." Abû Sa'eed said: "He came to us and said: 'Do you not know that the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ said: "Permission is to be sought three times?" They started laughing and I said: 'Your Muslim brother comes to you upset and you laugh? Let's go, and I will be your partner in this trouble.' He said: 'This is Abū Sa'eed."

35 - (2153) حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُفَضَّلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى، أَتَى بَابَ عُمَرَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاحِدَةٌ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ثِنْتَانِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ثَلَاثٌ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ فَرَدَّهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا شَيْئًا حَفِظْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهَا، وَإِلَّا، فَلَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ عِظَةً، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَأَتَانَا فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الِاسْتِئْذَانُ ثَلَاثٌ؟» قَالَ: فَجَعَلُوا يَضْحَكُونَ، قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: أَتَاكُمْ أَخُوكُمُ الْمُسْلِمُ قَدْ أُفْزِعَ، تَضْحَكُونَ؟ انْطَلِقْ فَأَنَا شَرِيكُكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْعُقُوبَةِ، فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: هَذَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ.
